To plant vacant countries, acquired by conquest or dis covery, to afford and exact mutual advantages, for their productions in our markets, and in theirs for our manu factures, and thus to create new and independent means of supplying our wants, multiplying our population, and extending our power, is, and for nearly two centuries has been, the Colonial System of Great Britain; with various modifications, indeed, and occasional exceptions, bounties and prohibitions having now, in general, given way to such protecting duties as secure the preference of native industry, and at the same time, by foreign compe tition, excite to the utmost, invention, frugality, and exer tion.
